A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

@Weekend mostly spent a lot of time playing Tomadachi and Kirby Triple Deluxe.And some Mario Kart 8 as well.Also watched the new episode of Space Dandy which got real intense,esp. at the end.
@"Condiment Head" I'm still a little skeptic of her.I'm hoping the writers can make her more likeable in the sequel and truly convince me Sunset is a good guy.

Considering what Sunset did before and during the events of the 1st film,I don't feel the scorn towards her is undeserved.She's bullied many,then mind controlled the entire school minus Twilight,Spike and the Humane 5 and nearly killed the heroes.Her hatred from the students isn't completely undeserved.

My Tumblr "If theirs one thing I'm good at, it's blowing" Jesse Cox 2013Well I'm not as interesting as a unicorn posing as a human. Of course, if I were a unicorn, why would I want to be human.
I agree that Sunset's scorn is kinda earned. From the vibe I'm getting from the trailers, she might end up pulling a Win Back the Crowd, at least in-universe. I'm hoping that the movie doesn't make her the Decoy Protagonist until Twi shows up. But I'm hoping for at least her being a Supporting Protagonist. Plus I've been having fun brainstorming her character and backstory for a possible fanfic, but that's on hold until I get around to seeing Rainbow Rocks.

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. Sark@Dark: Agreed. It's pretty clear that she feels like an ass about what she did in the first movie and realizing that nobody likes her as a result.
Reaction Image RepositoryI think I mentioned back on the EG thread that I wanted this movie to end with Twilight Passing the Torch to Sunset and officially making her the hero.
Twilight's like: "Sunset, I'm so proud! You've finally discovered the magic of friendship! Now, this universe is your problem! BYEEE!" -jumps through portal-

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkYay someone agrees. She was a bitch in the first film yes. But she did get redeemed at the end. It's understandable why many think she was faking it, but feels like many act like her behavior is just more of the same and doesn't deserve any sympathy. I disagree. She seems to be actively trying to distance herself from her misdeeds and move on, and is fully aware of the fact that nohuman likes her.
In particular her line as she shows the Dazzlings the school tour puts it best. "Got to get them used to the new me before they learn about the old me."
Also excited for the Maud cameo.

Considering we already went through the whole, "I'm reformed! Betrayal! Whoops, now I'm back to being good" with Discord in the season finale, I think it's a little early to rehash that plot point. So I think Sunny is a bit more genuine.
It'd be funny to see the Dazzlings pull a We Can Rule Together and Sunset responding with: "Hm, nah."

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkI wanna see Sunset as an antihero, still trying to figure out how this whole friendship thing works, and preferring to just hit the bad guys instead of friending them with magical artifacts.
http://h0useb0und.tumblr.com/@Ike: I do like the idea that Sunset is more brash and volatile than Twi. Jeez, imagine if she were the star of FiM
I'm now imagining Sunset straight up slugging Fake!Cadence in ACW.

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkIt'd get pretty repetitive if every weeks lesson was "you can't punch things to solve your problems''.
Speaking of punch things, the new Sailor Moon Crystal is out. I don't know what triggered that segway, but I'm going to go watch that now.
See ya later!

"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkNever been much of a Sailor Moon fan(or the Magic Girl genre for that matter),but maybe when this reboot series is finished I'll give it a shot.
Anyways,I'm heading off to bed.Got school tomorrow,night guys!

My Tumblr "If theirs one thing I'm good at, it's blowing" Jesse Cox 2013I don't know if I'd say Discord is fully reformed after that episode. He sort of is, but it isn't until the S4 finale that he truly gets it.

Nah, I'm just a boring old child-turned-woman child. :/
Speaking of her, I have to say, I've been growing rather fond of Condiment Head lately.
